Try the rw-faq question 3.6:
For package tcltk to work (try `demo(tkdensity)' or `demo(tkttest)')
you need to have Tcl installed. Download `tcl832.exe' (or use
`tcl831.exe' if you already have it) from <dev.scriptics.com> and
install it. (That will put the `bin' directory containing the Tcl and
Tk DLLs in your path). You then need to set the environment variable
`TCL_LIBRARY', to something like `c:/Program Files/Tcl/lib/tcl8.3'.
(The startup code for the package will warn you if this is unset, and
Q3.2 explains how to set them. NB: do not quote the path, even if as
here it contains spaces.)
There has been discussion of this on the list several times, and the
information is also in CHANGES. But I think it is precisely what FAQs are
for!
